I'm very pleased with myself. I was tinkering around with the 8N this weekend installed a new OP gauge and starter solenoid. I decided to mess with the oem starter switch that hasn't worked or been hooked up since I've had the tractor. Turns out after I got all the paint off that the PO mopped on, it works!! So, the new OP gauge shows about the same as the old one did, but doesn't bounce around with vibrations, and shows a little less than 1 psi per 100 rpms. That's to say I'm getting about 14 psi at 1550 rpms. Right on the line of what's safe from what I've read.
My question is what holds the solenoid on top of the starter for you guys? Is it the copper"L" from the starter to the solenoid or are there suppose to be holes for it to mount on? I just have wires going from batt to solenoid to starter, so do I need the L bracket/conductor or can I use a small self tapping screw :?
